Hawa, Gervais and Yany discuss yet another round of xenophobic acts of violence in South Africa.Violence against other Africans has been a constant theme in South Africa since the end of the Apartheid regime in 1994. Beginning in the late 1990s, young unemployed South Africans would ransack shops, beat and even burn alive African immigrants from Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, whom they claim are taking their jobs, women and costing them employment opportunities. These xenophobic riots have caused the death of dozens of Nigerians and other African immigrants in South Africa. Back in Nigeria, some young people began looting and burning down shops belonging to South African immigrants in retaliation. Curiously, some of the South African rioters cited Donald Trump's actions against illegal immigrants in many interviews.
